Chapter 262
Drinking usually resulted in trouble.
This time, Kieran allowed Lila to help him upstairs and then slowly went to take a shower.
Lila made the hangover soup and brought it upstairs for him.
She knocked on the door but didn’t get a response.
She opened the door quickly and saw that Kieran had already showered, changed, and was fast asleep in bed.
Lila smiled and glanced at him a little longer.
Kieran looked well–behaved
At that moment, he seemed just like any other person
Lila didn’t want to disturb this calm atmosphere, but she also feared he would have a headache after waking up tomorrow.
He had to drink the hangover soup.
She felt a twinge of guilt as if she were the wicked stepmother preventing the little princess from sleeping
“Uncle Kieran” She gently tapped him.
Lila had heard Amelle mention that Kieran had been living alone since he was very young. He encountered many dangers and never dared to let his guard down, even when sleeping
Even after all these years, he remained vigilant in his sleep
At the Morgan residence, he had ordered the household staff to stay away from his bedroom, and here at Evergreen Heights, he had hired non–resident
maids.
Even though Lila’s movements were gentle, the moment Kieran opened his eyes, a hint of alertness flashed in his gaze.
But it quickly faded once he processed the situation.
Lila folt a pang of sympathy but didn’t show it. She smiled and said, “Uncle Kieran, drink the hangover soup before you go back to sleep.”
Kieran slowly sat up, took the white bowl, and took a sip.
“How does it taste? Is it as good as the ones you make?“”
Her cheerful tone litred the somber atmosphere in the room.
Kieran nodded and complimented her. “It’s good”
“You’re lying. I’ve tasted it. It’s not good at all. It’s too sour.
“But since I had already added everything in, I added some more water, and it’s still sour
Kieran was left speechless.
Hearing her honest words, he no longer tried to maintain his composure. His brows started furrowing from the sour taste
Lila couldn’t help but laugh. Was he trying to act like a well–behaved child?
Kieran actually had such a cute side.
“Just bear with it. I’ll try to make it better next time!” she said with a playful smile, looking cheeky and adorable.
She took the white bowl back, her delicate fingers more beautiful than the porcelain itself. “Get some rest
Kieran watched Lila leave and thoughtfully turned off the lights for him.
His gaze shifted slightly in the darkness
He must have truly been drunk because it didn’t take long before he fell asleep again
Kieran woke up the next day and his head didn’t hurt. That sour hangover soup actually worked quite well
Litla had to get up early for a regular shoot with the crew, so she left before him.
When Cole arrived, he found only Kieran at the dining table, which was odd to him.
“Is Ms. Hart still sleeping?” he asked.
He got used to calling her that and forgot to correct himself.
Kieran didn’t respond to that, instead asking, “Did you look into last night’s incident?”
“Yes.” Cole remembered the Important matter of the day. “Yesterday, Sturnon brought Darlen in, and Dorlan sent the water who approached Ms. Hart.
“From the surveillance, aside from Sharmon bringing him inside, they didn’t have any other contact, and they didn’t seem familiar.
Chapter 262
“The key point is, when Dorian bumped into Ms. Hart, it was indeed an accident, but Shannon never left his side after Dorian entered.”
Cole paused. “It seems that Shannon was waiting for an opportunity to have Ms. Hart meet with Dorian and then take the chance to slander her.
“If Dorian hadn’t tripped, I think she would have had some backup plan.”
“But…” Cole hesitated. “Shannon is from the Bolton family. Do you plan to take action against her, Mr. Morgan?”
